Upcoming Events:
- We will have a pizza talk on Wednesday April 25 at 12:00 from
Geremias Polanco Encarnacion from the University of
Illinois. The talk is titled: From Vibrating Strings to
Quasicrystals: Floor Function and Irrationals
Multiplying an irrational number alpha by each positive integer n gives
rise to a sequence with multiple properties. We will look at these
types of sequences from different perspectives and will mention some of
their applications.
